Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved process for preparing pulp suitable for paper making.
- the factors for importance in processes for preparing pulp include:
- TMP thermo mechanical pulping
- RMP refiner mechanical pulping
- the object of this invention is to provide a process in which the energy saving advantage of explosive decompression is achieved but in which good brightness, high yield, and good fiber strength are also maintained.
- the higher temperatures enable higher pressures to be used, thereby greatly improving steam penetration inside the fibers and softening of the hydrogen bonds in the mainly crystalline region of the fibers.
- the major problems accompanying previous processes using explosive decompression are believed to have been the degradation due to the oxidation of wood and acid hydrolysis leading to loss in brightness, deterioration of fiber and paper properties and loss of yield.
- the approach adopted by this invention is therefore to attempt to curtail hydrolytic and oxidative wood degradation and thereby to protect against loss of yield, brightness and fiber strength.
- the loss of fiber strengh will be particularly great if the degree of polymerization of the cellulose falls below the critical value which is about 500-600. Hydrolytic degradation will also cause yield loss due mainly to degradation of hemi-cellulose.
- the process of this invention tries to achieve a positive improvement in the strength of the paper that will be produced from the fibers by increasing the number of hydrophilic groups on the fiber surfaces thereby adding to the potential sites for hydrogen bonding.
- the wood fragments, having fibers suitable for paper making, such as chips, are in a form in which thorough chemical impregnation can be achieved in a reaonable time.
- the softened chips are preferably washed and then without undue delay, and preferably immediately, refined to provide pulp.
- the starting material will normally be chips in which the fibers are of a length suitable for paper making. Shavings could also be used but sawdust would be undesirable except as a minor part of the total furnish as the fibers are partially cut.
- the chips should also, as is well known, be suitable in the sense of being free from bark and foreign matter.
- impregnation is to protect the chips against oxidation during cooing and during transfer from the cooking vessel to the refiner. It is also an objective to provide a positive increase in strength by developing hydrophylic groups on the fiber surface during steam treatment. This will then provide additional sites for hydrogen bonding.
- the preferred anti-oxidant is sodium sulphite Na 2 SO 3 which also forms hydrophilic groups, and which is available at a low cost. It is used to provide a concentration of absorbed chemical of about 1 to 10%. Concentrations below 4% would be used where brightness protection is unimportant and high strength is not required. Where, however, brightness is important the sodium sulphite should be at least 4%. If physical properties are important thesa will be improved by using a coneentration of at least 4% sodium sulphite and will be further improved as the concentration is further increased towards 10%.
- the concentratipn of the solution is preferably about the same as percent of chemical to be absorbed where there are equal quantities of chips and liquor.
- a ton of chips of 50% consistency mixed with one ton of 8% solution will result in 8% absorbed on the pulp.
- Other antioxidants that can be used are potassium sulphite or magnesium sulphite.
- Ammonium sulphite could be used if cooking conditions are not severe or with a buffer.
- Complexing agents such as ethylene diamine tetracetic acid (EDTA), sodium diethylene triaminepentacetate (DTPA), sodium tripolyphosphate (TPF) and other complexing agents known in the art as being usable under alkaline conditions may be added to minimize the catalytic effect of metals such as iron on oxidative degradation.
- a swelling agent to assist the antioxidant or hydrophilic agent in penetrating the wood and this contributes also to softening the chip.
- Suitable swelling agents are sodium or potassium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide which will contribute also to providing hydrophilic groups.
- Other swelling agents that can be used and which may be desirable as auxiliary swelling agents for high density wood are zinc chloride, sodium chloride, sodium bromide, calcium isocyanate, Schweitzers' solution, cupriethylenediamine (C.E.D) tetraethylammonium hydroxide, dimethyldibenzylammonium hydroxide.
- the concentration of swelling agent and conditions of swelling must be controlled in such a way as to avoid any dissolution of the hollocellulose.
- the percentage of swelling agent in the impregnating solution will be in the range of about 1 to 4% depending on the agent and the conditions.
- the impregnating solution must be alkaline and have enough free hydroxyl to be able to neutralize the liberated wood acids such as formic acid and acetic acid. Normally the starting pH is about 7.5 or higher and the final pH after steam cooking should be at least 6 or higher.
- the time of impregnation at atmospheric pressure in holding tanks typically ranges from about 12 hours to 24 hours at a temperature of about 30° C. to 60° C.
- Approximately equal weights of chips and of aqueous impregnating solution can be used.
- the time may be shortened to an hour or to minutes by impregnating with steam under pressure and at a higeer temperature.
- the pressure should be up to about 1 atmospheric extra pressure at a temperature of about 100° C. to 110° C.
- the chips should be compressed in advance of impregnation. Under these conditions, penetration will be achieved in a shorter time, but penetration is what predominantly occurs. There is no significant cooking.
- the impregnated chips are steam cooked at a high temperature and pressure.
- the temperature of cooking should be within the range of about 170° C. to 210° C. and preferably within the range 180°-195° C., which is in excess of the temperatures considered possible according to the publications of Asplund and Higgins previously referred to. These temperatures correspond with a pressure of 7.9 atmospheres for 170° C. and 15.5 atmospheres for 200° C. It is these high pressures which make a very important contribution to ensuring excellent penetration of the chips by the cooking liquor.
- the cooking may be preceded by steam flushing under low pressure steam at 100° C for a short period such as one minute.
- steam flushing under low pressure steam at 100° C for a short period such as one minute.
- This preliminary treatment is then followed by cooking for about 30 seconds to 6 minutes and preferably about 1 to 4 minutes.
- the chips resulting from the explosive decompression are softened and partially defibrated.
- Refining erergies are unusually low and can be expected to be in the range 3.6 to 4 MJ/kg to provide a freeness of about 700 and about 4.6 to 5 MJ/kg for a freeness of 100 which is about one half of the energy demand of refiner mechanical pulp (RMP) or thermomechanical pulp (TMP).
- RMP refiner mechanical pulp
- TMP thermomechanical pulp
- CMP chemi-mechanical pulp
- the refiner energy is about 40% higher than that of explosion pulp for the same properties.
- physical properties such as burst, tear and breaking length will be considerably better than those of CMP as illustrated below in Table 1.
- Table 3 shows a correlation between refining energy and other factors such as cooking time and concentration of sodium sulphite together with the physical properties. It also indicates the balance between factors such as cooking time and chemical content as against the refining energy required to achieve a given freeness.
- Table 4 is a further example showing that at similar freeness the improved explosion pulp develops similar properties at lower energy as compared with a chemi-mechanical pulp (CMP).
- CMP chemi-mechanical pulp
- the process of this invention is particularly suitable for bleaching with hydrogen peroxide.
- the formula of chemicals used for bleaching may also include sodium hydroxide, a substance such as magnesium sulphite and a complexing agent such as sodium diethylene triaminepentacetate (DTPA).
- DTPA sodium diethylene triaminepentacetate
- Table 6 provides a further illustration of the effect of bleaching the products of the improved explosion process with hydrogen peroxide.
- Table 7 gives additional results showing the effect of bleaching with 4% hydrogen peroxide applied to the product of the improved explosion process as compared with CTMP pulp.
- the preferred bleaching conditions for the improved explosion pulp are 3-5% hydrogen peroxide, 3-5% sodium hydroxide; 0.5 to 3% sodium silicate; 0 to 0.1% magnesium sulphate, time 1 hour to 4 hours, temperature 50° C. to 90° C., consistency 10 to 35%.
- DTPA 0 to 0.5%. These conditions should give a good compromise between cost and effectiveness.
- the most important chemical additives are the hydrogen peroxide and the sodium hydroxide.
- the pulp should be washed, preferably with a solution of sodium metabisulphite (for example a 2% solution) or a solution of water saturated with sulphur dioxide. These solutions will provide sulphur dioxide which will react with and neutralize the excess of hydrogen peroxide.
- the improved explosion process will provide a product having a yield in the range 90 to 94% and an energy of defibration of 3 to 4.9 MJ/kg in one stage refining or 4 to 6.5 MJ/kg in two stage refining.
- the brightness without bleaching will be in the range 55-60% and after bleaching with 4% hydrogen peroxide will have a brightness in the range 80-82%.
- Hardwood will have a brightness without bleaching in the range 60-70% and after bleaching with 4% hydrogen peroxide will have a brightness of 85-87%.
- the physical properties of softwood are comparable or superior to those produced by the CMP or CTMP processes.
- the properties of the hardwood are up to 50% superior to the products produced by the CMP or CTMP processes. It is reasonable to expect that, by applying the principles disclosed herein further optimization will result in even better results.
